I have been using a Grado 125 plugged in to the headphone out on my Linn Majik integrated amp and have always enjoyed this combo. I needed a another headphone so that my wife and I can watch movies at night and so I bought a Sennheiser HD600 and the Gilmore V2 amp. The Gilmore is still on order and so I have been using the Linn Majik to drive the 600. What I have noticed is that I have to turn the volume much higher with the Sennheiser than the Grado. The other thing I noticed is the bass is so much better on the Grado than the 600. Bass sounds thin and anemic with the 600. From what read on this forum, the Sennheiser 600 is supposed to have great bass. Is it because of my Linn headphone out is not a good match for the Sennheiser and that I should wait for my Gilmore? When headphone goes bad, is it very noticeable? I bought this from ebay and wondered if I had bought a defective HP. Any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
